In their small but well organised production workshop in Uji, Master Yoshida and his team carefully sample taste each batch of tea throughout its production process. It is his own reputation that is at stake. As a multiple award winning 16th generation gyokuro master, pursuit for quality is the only way to maintain this honour, and that of his family name. Only the best first flush leaves are selected for processing in this highly specialised workshop. Each step of the processing is monitored and adjusted on the spot for maximising the taste quality. Differences in the weather throughout the growth of the harvest and even the picking time and conditions affect the biochemistry of the leaves. For a green tea, this directly affects the final taste. Adding one degree in heating or a few minutes of baking to optimise the potential of each batch of leaves can therefore mean whether the tea will be good or distinctively superb. Tea Hong’s Uji Gyokuro Yayoinoin is one of these ultimate quality, limited quantity batches hand-rolled by the Master himself, and that we have secured before the annual tea competition. (We wouldn’t be able to offer it if we buy it afterward when it wins. Domestic demand for an award tea is huge even when the price skyrockets upon winner declaration.)
Available in 25g (0.88oz) in a double lidded tin, or in 60g (2.1oz) in a kraft-alu pillow pack. Please click below to choose. -

Yutaka Tsuzuki 都築 豐
Yutaka Tsuzuki
A highly recognised Tokoname artisan with multiple national and regional awards, Yutaka Tsuzuki is better known amongst his collectors by his artist name 豐 Yutaka. This piece is one that we have selected from his signature “Skinclay” series.
the Skinclay series
Master Yutaka has developed a technique to transform the surface of the clay to feel like the warmth and tactility of skin, 人肌のような質感, as he puts it. It is intended for building a closer, or more intimate, connection between the object and the user upon each use.
Shiboridashi 絞り出し
Much like a gaiwan with a spout, this 絞り出し type of teapot, especially of this extremely flat style, has recently been getting popular amongst tea hobbyists who prefer very short infusion duration and lower than standard water temperature, for its much greater surface area to volume ratio — that dissipates heat much faster than a regular ball shape. We think the form itself does encourage closer user to object physical contact, for facilitating that skin tactility connection.
This is a handmade item. Each individual piece delivered may have slight variations in colour, pattern, shape and details from the particular one used in these pictures.
